You don't fly through any tube at 60mph, since you drive everywhere. They're not "your" revered athletes, since you revere a team from 250 miles away. Seriously, what kind of New Yorker are you? I think you're one of THEM! Maybe we should throw rock-filled snowballs at YOUR head. You don’t work on the 65th floor of anything, since you don’t work.

Good LORD people annoy me. I mean, I can understand going 20 or 25mph in these conditions (in Brooklyn), but FIVE?! No. I need a clue-by-four to smack some of these drivers with. I mean, really. New England got an INCH of ice. They're not driving at 1/6th the speed limit. Learn to drive or GTFO. This is nothing, as far as winter storms go. yesYesYeSYES.
